Overexpression of Saussurea involucrata dehydrin gene SiDHN promotes cold and drought tolerance in transgenic tomato plants.

Dehydrins are late embryogenesis abundant proteins that help regulate abiotic stress responses in plants. Overexpression of the Saussurea involucrata dehydrin gene SiDHN has previously been shown to improve water-use efficiency and enhance cold and drought tolerance of transgenic tobacco. To underst...
